Gerrard did it once, I'll give you that. Wouldn't exactly say it's happened often in the squad so far though o_0

Was a pretty good match, Croatia played well.. creds to them.

Well English do fall down alot, it is kinda pussy.. but they played better. Baric is an idiot. He put Olic in, in 55' min and he played injured Zivkovic in midfield. (Who is a defender) And what was the point of takin Simic out? Man Blazevic needs to come back, and Croatia needs to forget many of the older players and allow the youth to play.

Great match. England played really well. England - Portugal is a game I look forward too alot.

Was a bit pissed at the first half falling over by some english players, but in fairness, non looked at the ref and just completely lost it. I think Ref was fab tonight, as he always is. Don't compare england to diving etc... just look at Portugal for expertese, rolling around holding their legs to get a man carded, thats cheating!!

Rooney was amazing, but it was the backbone of the team that played well today. Becks and Owen still arnt firing on all cilinders, which must frighten any opposition that we may get.

We're on a high, and who is to know now we play portugal ey!!

Just a bit suspicious about set pieces, we seem extremely week!

COME ON ENGLAND!!!

yea it will be very interesting match, not like Greece - France


England played tonight great.. imo it's the best their game

what a match, was it me or was gerald really playing his arse off?

Great game. England finally has some firepower. 7 Goals in 2 games. First time in the quarterfinals on Foreign Soil.
Bring on those Portugese, I have great faith now!!!!

I am not English but get real, apart from Gerrard's fall in the first half there was no noteworthy English "simulation". Actually, the worst one of the game was when the Croat goalie fell in agonizing pain after Owen supposedly clipped him. I guess there must have been some snipers in the stadium.

bleh, croatia lost it. fair result tho. rooney did one hell of a game

portugal x england is gonna be a very offensive and even match, england look unstoppable from the midfield and beyond but the defense is rather weak.. i'm not sure how that is going to turn out.

Go fuck yourself idiot.

Not the opponent I'd desire for the quarters... oh well, let's see if we'll have Greece's Portugal or Spain's Portugal. Quality should be improving with time...

Brilliant game for England i thought, played really well (after a while), when they got going they looked like a team that could win the whole thing!!!

I think Cole played well too but was a bit dissapointed by the defense, if portugal use some of their flair against england im not too sure what will happen

I'm in a dilema now too, i have portuguese blood and live in england, i dont havre a clue who to cheer for, but as i will be watching in an english pub i guess if i value my life i'd better cheer for england!

But at least i'll have a team to support in semi's either way

oh no, another anonymous insult over the internet. that's real big from your corner. dumbass.

Well, it was tense there in the first 15 minutes with Croatia in the lead, but we were having chances left, right and centre and I knew the boys would equalise. Wayne Rooney...what more can you say about him? Instead of trying to be greedy on the first goal, he spotted Scholes and put a beautiful header over. And his two goals...my my..what a talent we have. I think any doubters of Rooney are hiding in shame.

David James is still a bit of a concern...the first goal was not his fault and he made a brilliant stop to keep it 1 nill. But that second goal....he just stands there and watches the ball, which you cannot do at this level. He did it against France on the tying goal and against Switzerland a few times. He might cost us the game sooner or later if it's tight (and it probably will be from here on in).

To the guy whining about England's diving...get stuffed! The English players do not dive and do not complain like the Italians or Portuguese. Did you see the Croatian goalie after Owen bumped into him? Fucking disgusting. Croatia played well, but let's be honest...they were outclassed.

When English players fall over they usually get back up again. The English passionately hate 'simulation' which is growing in the English game because of all the foreign imports.

England have conceded 4 goals in this tournament, all from set pieces. This is a cause for concern but it also means we know exactly where we are going wrong defensively. We only have a couple of days to sort it out, though.

It was a very encouraging performance from England today, can't fault any of our players even if some played better than others. Rooney is on fire, Scholes is beginning to prove his critics (myself included) wrong, and Lampard is settling in well. Owen and to a lesser extent Beckham have some room for improvement, if our big players perform there is noone we can't beat. I worry about our defence against the Portuguese, but their defence isn't anything to write home about either. Could be plenty of chances at either end. We mustn't be intimidated by the home fans, we have to attack the Portuese defence from the off because England don't do patient build up football.

ROONEY TEH SCALLY

^^^^ what the hell is that supposed to be?

Smitty i hate to admit it but ...

ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY
ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY
ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY

I'm just amazed at the stupid comparison you have made. A sniper at the stadium? Wow thats beautiful. Especially with all the bull that has been going around to make the Euro a safe place. You probably didn't hear about the threats that certain sects threatened to carry out. This goes for Greece this summer too. I read that in one of the articles in the papers, and how important it was to make security tight. Yeah i like soccer and a bit of hooliganism but you are the real dumbass of this thread. Yea Croatia lost, so what? Its just a sport and a hobby of mine, i don't cut my vains for this game. Also, the players might be a bit pissed too, but at the end of the day they get their fat paycheck and go back to their mansions to rest with their model wives. Get a life.

The sniper saying is a common football metaphor about diving and falling by players.

eg "He went down like he had been shot"

Calm down.

Well alright man. I've never heard it before.

I don't think Beckham's played as badly as most people seem to make out... he hasn't had that much action up front but has done his part setting up alot of England's chances. He can definitely deliver the cross every time.

that's why a bit of the talk in England bothers me. Beckham isn't looking 100% out there, but you still need his presence on the pitch. He can create a goal at any time, same as Owen. I just wish they were both on top form and nobody would be able to stop us!

What the hell is so special about Rooney?
I can't explain why he scores 4 goals already in the tournament... while the best attackers of the world: Vieri, Raul, Pauleta, Owen and Figo haven't even scored one goal! I don't think Rooney is a brilliant player....

Nice quarter final by the way: Portugal - England

Dont underestimate Beckhams impact in the games, he's set up loads of goals and he binds the team together wonderfully.

And all I have to say now os


ROOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!!
